Things to Do in Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok is a city where old meets new and promises a unique experience filled with elegance and charm. While there are endless things to do in Bangkok, here are a few select activities we recommend to all our travellers looking to experience the best of this destination.
-
Foodie Delights
It’s no secret that Thailand is one of the world's top foodie destinations, and Bangkok is the perfect city to dive into Thai cuisine. Enjoy fine dining and relax at chic rooftop bars, or visit the lively markets in Bangkok with a personal guide tasting local dishes and finding unique souvenirs.
Visit the “Village of Love”, Bangkok’s historic Bangrak area, and explore the local neighbourhood with a private guide enjoying a hand-picked selection of delicious dishes. Alternatively, swap your land legs for a boat, and cruise along the Chao Phraya River exploring the historic klongs after a morning eating your way through the old Portuguese quarter, Kudichin.
-
Private Canal tours
You can’t visit the “Venice of the East” without exploring the intricate waterways.
More than just a water feature in the city, the canals offer a way of travel through the neighbourhoods, sightseeing and even income as floating markets take anchor amongst the bustling city centre.
Embark on a half-day tour of the canal, sailing through the floating markets and making your way to the quieter canals to adore the riverside homes and embrace the slower provincial life of Bangkok.
-
Arts & Culture
History buffs and culture vultures alike are spoilt for choice when it comes to Bangkok holidays.
The Grand Palace and Wat Pho are absolute musts, as you’ll easily spend half a day exploring these areas. Visit Wat Pho early in the morning to see the chanting monks for a wonderful introduction to the rich Buddhist culture here. This is where you’ll also find the famous reclining Buddha.
Then visit the nearby Grand Palace to learn about Thailand’s royal family as you walk the gilded halls. The site is home to numerous throne halls, museums, temples and the Emerald Buddha.
For a deeper art focus, head back to the canals to board a private longtail boat and discover Bangkok’s vibrant artisan community to learn about Thailand’s traditional and modern art and captivating Thai puppetry.

Get off the Beaten Track
Once you’ve visited the quintessential areas, get off the beaten track and see the sleepier side of Bangkok.
Take a private boat to the island of Bang Kra Jao, affectionately known as Bangkok’s jungle, and enjoy a cycle through its lush greenery and peaceful aura. While here, stop and chat with locals, shop at markets and dine at street food stalls. At the weekend there’s the large local Bang Nam Phueng market.
With the high energy of the city, this is a unique way to get a richer view of the local life here and dive deeper into the culture.

FAQs for Bangkok Holidays
-
With Bangkok’s summer reaching sweltering temperatures, the best time to visit Bangkok, Thailand is in the autumn months, or September through November.
This is when the weather is best for spending the day outside sightseeing or on the canals.
-
We recommend 2-3 days for Bangkok, as a part of a larger tour of Thailand. There are day trips you can take while based in Bangkok, like the historic city of Ayutthaya, so you can always spend a few more days in Bangkok to explore the surrounding area.
